Over deze film

Director Bill Condon brings his creative vision to life in this Director's Extended Edition! Experience the big screen adaptation of Tom Eyen's Tony award-winning Broadway musical in a tale of dreams, stardom, and the high cost of success in the cutthroat recording industry. The time is the 1960s, and singers Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose), and Deena (Beyoncé Knowles) are about to find out just what it's like to have their wildest dreams come true. Discovered at a local talent show by ambitious manager Curtis Taylor Jr. (Jamie Foxx), the trio known as "the Dreamettes" is soon offered the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of opening for popular singer James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy). Subsequently molded into an unstoppable hit machine by Taylor and propelled into the spotlight as “the Dreams,” the girls quickly find their bid for the big time taking priority over personal friendship as Taylor edges out of the ultra-talented Effie so that the more beautiful Deena can become the face of the group. Now, as the crossover act continues to dominate the airwaves, the small-town girls with the big-city dreams slowly begin to realize that the true cost of fame may be higher than any of them ever anticipated.

I didn't really like it at first but after watching it a couple of times I began to appreciate it.I first saw it with my baby mama while I was still in college.The movie does a great job of letting these singers showcase their talent.Jennifer Hudson may have not been good enough for American Idol but that didn't stop her from bringing down the house with her exceptional vocal skills.

Move, move. MOVE righr out of my life. You better move. Your stepping on my heart. I said move, please move . Youe tearing me apart, so im breaking , breaking up over you. I feel just like the Titanic , I'm always going down, down down down !!! - The Creamettes

I turn my back and find myself out on the line! You could've warned me but that would've been to kind!...
